Not exactly easy to fire someone (even with reason) in some EU countries due to (in some cases very needed) regulation.

This is very true. I have known people truly shit at their jobs. They've done things I would assume to be the final nail in the coffin - and some how they just trundle along frustrating everyone around them. WFH and you can easily get away with under performing by 25-50% in countries with strong protections for employees.
